Sorry, shutdown -r (which is reboot really).


Writing the reset value `6' to the reset port 3321 in single user mode
makes the screen go blank, and the machine to become totally
unresponsive.  The power light remains on.  But the machine does *not*
reboot.

I've put up the ACPI tables at
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~peterc/AspireOneACPI

The relevant part of the FADT is:
[074h 0116 12]               Reset Register : <Generic Address Structure>
[074h 0116  1]                     Space ID : 01 (SystemIO)
[075h 0117  1]                    Bit Width : 08
[076h 0118  1]                   Bit Offset : 00
[077h 0119  1]                 Access Width : 01
[078h 0120  8]                      Address : 0000000000000CF9

[080h 0128  1]         Value to cause reset : 06
